"A mesmerizing, psychologically taut novel about a marriage's end and the secrets we all carry. A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate. For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them. As she begins her new life, she gets word that Christopher has gone missing in a remote region in the rugged south of Greece; she reluctantly agrees to go and search for him, still keeping their split to herself. In her heart, she's not even sure if she wants to find him. Adrift in the wild landscape, she traces the disintegration of their relationship, and discovers she understands less than she thought about the man she used to love. A story of intimacy and infidelity, A Separation is about the gulf that divides us from the lives of others and the narratives we create for ourselves. As the narrator reflects upon her love for a man who may never have been what he appeared, Kitamura propels us into the experience of a woman on the brink of catastrophe. A Separation is a riveting stylistic masterpiece of absence and presence that will leave the reader astonished, and transfixed"-- Provided by publisher.
"A taut, complex portrait of a marriage haunted by secrets, in which a woman finds herself traveling to Greece in search of her missing, estranged husband"-- Provided by publisher.

Smug British in Greece submitted by zornm on August 20, 2017, 10:24am Mesmerizingly boring.

worth your time submitted by rincess on August 8, 2022, 12:02pm I really liked Katie Kitamura's style -- seen again in her other work-- the way characters remain nameless, the way places could be here or there, the uneasiness, the mood. I enjoyed this work and am into it, so was my book club, see what you think!

Moody submitted by khrobinson on August 27, 2022, 3:08pm Somehow this was both a quick read and a slow read at the same time.
